After two full days of persistent and meticulous attention to detail, the greenhouse frame is standing tall. Both Saturday and Sunday were perfect days for greenhouse building. On day one, Dom, Vicki, Gina and Noah worked together. On day two, Gina had to go back to her job, so it was just Dom, Vicki and Noah working together.
I was a little more composed after a good night sleep and yesterday I had the opportunity to sit outside and continue making garden notes as well as starting the rough draft for the garden quadrant where the greenhouse and Three Sister Guild will be going.
I’ll post the garden plans for the greenhouse area when I finish my other garden plans. The panels and structure modifications have not been added yet to the greenhouse. We need to wait until Dom has a day off again which will be this Thursday. In the meantime we found a great website from a man that lives in New Mexico who modified the same greenhouse we have. His design was awesome, and we’ll be making some of the same tweaks he did to his. I’m really glad we found him online. The greenhouse frame is strong, but not strong enough to withstand our very high winds and while windbreaks can help, there is still more we can do to make the greenhouse even stronger. Here is the link to website I found.
Simone played pretend and made strawberry pie. She found a green bowl, loaded it up dirt and creatively put the stones on top. No one in our family has ever made strawberry pie, so this was a treat for us to see her imagination all fired up. She was very proud of her creation and we were all proud of her ability to play pretend.

What a great team, expecially Simmi !!!! Looks like she had lots of fun…..
Thanks, everything is working out wonderfully. We still need to make strength modifications to the greenhouse frame so we’re estimating another few weeks before the greenhouse is completed.
